My AM21 might be giving up ghost :(

Really strange AM21 issue being seen with my HR44.

Everyone once in a while, I'll get searching for signal errors. Mind you, these are channels that normally get 100% on the meters. A re-initialization of the OTA channels fixes most of the time.

I'll compare it against my TV tuner the next time it breaks, but I might be in the market for an AM21 soon.

Try swapping out the USB cable.

Sigh - finally ran the cable to A/B against my TV tuner, and whaddayaknow, it's the OTA signal. I'm guessing some EMI and/or a failing barrel connecter somewhere. This won't be an easy find.

Most likely skinned jacket, that is allowing the outer shield to show, or failing end on the antenna. I would go and check from the antenna & Pre amp if you have one. It could also just be a failing Pre-amp if you have one installed.
